Hello, I just recently started up my bj70 85' and tried to reverse up the driveway I was in, the truck was not at operating temp but it was not stone cold either, it was above the c as it did not sit in the driveway that long.. anyways, the truck began to slowly bog down more and more until it either stalled or came to a reallyy low idle.. I drove down the driveway and turned around to see if it would do the same if i went up in first gear instead of revrse and it did a little bit but not as bad? just a little bogged out but i made it home nonetheless and the truck seemed to be operating fine. so what the heck is going on here? any info please.. i hope nothing too serious. and should i be not driving the truck and take to shop i dont get why it was operating ok on the way home but seemed fu*ked in the driveway. thanks a lot
 
Nevermind sorry!! Figured out what the issue is, I was fairly low on fuel and when reversing up the steep hill the fuel was not getting processed aka a bog out and i made it up in first gear fine. :doh: sorry i do not know how to delete a post either .. Simple fix = no fix: ha!! maybe this will help someone else later on, cheers
